Classic New England Wedding: Becky & Paul

I love a good classic wedding. One that is timeless, that you can look back on for years to come and it would still be beautiful. Today’s wedding is one of those – with a pretty grey and pink color palette, a stunning cathedral venue (gosh, it makes for some pretty pictures!), and elegant details. And how fabulous are those shoes!? Check out these lovely images from Katie Slater, along with some words from the bride.

I’m a graphic designer, so I took on the challenge of designing our invitations, all of our paper products (programs, table cards, table numbers, etc), and website. Paul is a software engineer, so he created the RSVP capability on the website. That way, we didn’t need people to send in response cards. They could RSVP right through our website!

Favorite moment of the day? My favorite moment was walking down the aisle. Arm in arm with my dad, seeing Paul waiting for me there at the altar, all the stress melted away and was replaced with pure happiness.

Advice for couples planning now? Don’t forget what the day is truly about. It’s easy to get wrapped up in linen colors and everyone else’s opinions, but at the end of the day it’s about the love between you and your soulmate. It will go by so fast, and all those little details you stressed about won’t even matter!

Paul and I were inspired by the historical backdrop of Salem. We wanted things to look vintage and classic – almost like an old faded photograph.

What made your wedding YOU?

I’d love to say that it was all the decor, dress, all the planning that went into it, but in truth it was the presence of all the people who care about us. Strip away all the decoration and pretty things, and I still would have felt nothing but love that day. My friends,family, and of course my husband, made our wedding day the best day of my life to date.

Such a lovely wedding isn’t it? I especially love the florals and all of paper goods, which the bride designed herself. Oh, and air guitar is always a plus at a wedding! Congrats to Becky & Paul.
